I'm stalking my cousins, and sister on facebook, I was wondering if I should add them. I've havent seen or spoke to them in 4 years.

They are both family... why not? Do they know you are a stalker and that's why you don't want to add them? Who even stalks their family members? Crushes, yeah but family members?

Well, yeah. If you stop acting casual, then the person you're stalking takes notice. Duh. That's like, Stalking 101.

no, it's just that i'm scared on how they will judge me. i was really active and really talkative, when they knew me. but as i'm older now, i'm shy, and more serious, and anti-social. i don't want them to perceive me as some loser/lame

You should be fine. As long as you don't tell them that you stalked them.

Well, if you haven't talked to them in four years, chances are, they already think that...

I'm Facebook friends with a cousin I haven't said a full sentence to in over 5 years. It's not weird at all to add family members.

yes and stalking them is definately not going to harm that :D

nevertheless, talk is free, they are family, so go talk about...stuff...and your stalking habits.

Well what were the circumstances like the last time you talked to them? That could change things.

Nothing wrong with it if they just look at your profile, you added them/set your profile to public. Though it would be a bit creepy if she's analysing your pics to see where you were and when or PMs you a link to get you to download a GPS tracker or backdoor to your phone

If you were hateful towards her what do you expect? Personally i'ld apply the same rules that i use for GS friends: only add them if you want to keep track of them or see them in your feed. It shouldn't matter who they are or how well you know them, if a close friend keeps posting spam then remove them if a stranger posts interesting stuff then add them.

Think carefully before you add them. Sometimes it's weird posting something and having your family members see it too.

Some family members I haven't seen in over a decade have been going through my facebook. It's very strange that they went through it more than once but never sent me a friend's request. They bothered to look for me, we're on good terms even though we don't speak(they moved to a different country). They even showed my Dad my FB profile.

My grandma comments on a lot of my facebook updates, and I'll admit my facebook updates consist of pure nonsense. For example. "Your face is on fire? Have the fire department put it out with an axe." I get a lot of likes and comments. It makes me feel popular and loved. :) As for stalking people on facebook, family or no. I do not do that lol.

It's not that bad, but... you should really ask to be their friend if you plan on keeping up with them in the future. Some people could take it in a bad way should you start mentioning something you saw on their facebook, if you never asked to be their friend.
